Hey guys, I've been taking a little time off from blogging while my boyfriend is in town…but I'll be updating more soon! Thanks for reading.

Mom on the left, me on the right…

My mom and I always end up getting the same shoes! So nerdy. But I guess you like what you like… When I saw these shoes at the Neiman Marcus sale I couldn't help myself…I liked the bloated shape of the platform. Don't these shoes look pregnant? Something about the shape reminded me of african fertility art.

Not to mention the bronze is so pretty with the blond wood platform.

Not to mention they are comfy enough to wear around the house, if you are so inclined…and you know I am. Mom and I both wore our Gucci's to work on an exciting upcoming project of ours!

That is a photogenic dog, indeed.
Not super fond of the shoes, for some reason they remind me of the Wizard of Oz. But hey, to each their own. Love the scarf you’re wearing.
Have fun with your boyfriend this week!

Full length picture of you is great! Hot shoes too.
I’m really out of the loop on my SOS I guess, I didn’t know you had a boyfriend ha. Hope you’re having a great weekend Jane!

Love the brocade pants.. Reminds me of this picture of giovanna battiglia in a similar pair.. Haha I remember shamelessly trying on those gucci shoes on at a shoot

WOW! Looks like you guys are REALLY into these! They look cool with the socks…U can totally pull it off, Jane;-)! These pictures remind me of the S/S Burberry campaign. Don’t know why.Maybe it’s the colors! We’ll be blogging live from Paris next week. Check it out;-):http://fashioncoup.com/

I seriously just did a little dance when I saw that you had updated! I’m living vicariously through you so when the updates are slow my life always gets just a tad more boring. Sad, I know! Anyway, the shoes (and you for that matter) are gorgeous! I would love to see a picture of your boyfriend if he’s not too shy.

I love seeing how you and your mom both played around with the shoes! It’s cool seeing each of your different takes on how to wear them. I don’t know if you’ve answered this before…but are you guys the same shoe size? That, I’m sure, would come in handy!

These are such gorg shoes, I love the metalic and wood combo! Really loving all the autumnal tones, which look great especially with yours and Judy’s darker locks! I love the contrast with the grey in Judy’s outfit, and the gold tones in yours, the brocade pants are stuning.
Now you do have us wondering though, how stylish is your Boyf!
Have a great weekend Jane,

Honestly, at first glance I thought they were different shoes because you both rock them so differently. I love that your blog shows the versatility of a pair of shoes or a single piece of clothing. It’s fantastic, especially in these financial times.

the first time I saw those shoes I didn’t like them, but they’ve been growing on me ever since. I especially like your comment about the fertility art! that’s exactly what they reminded me of.
I wish I could like those brocade pants, but my grandma has this horrible squat little overstuffed chair in a fabric just like that, that I really don’t like. haha.

your skin is flawless! what’s your secret (besides youth!)? you totally need to do a beauty post on sea of shoes.
i must admit im not too much a fan of the shoes.. they do look a little bloated! i’d probably break my neck attempting to walk in them!

The vintage necklace you wore is stunning. Vintage jewelry and those just vintage looking brings out elegance in whoever wears it. There are a lot of antique styled fashion jewelry at http://eternalsparkles.com. They also have cheap rings, brooches and pearl jewelry if you opt for more classic jewelry.

Jane,
These shoes are carbon copies of the shoes we used to wear for school, under our maxi dresses, in the late seventies!!!! Ours were blue and green, though. Our school had stopped us wearing short skirts so we rebelled by wearing maxi skirts with platforms underneath………
Yours from Sherwood Forest, England, reminiscing about the millions of ways we got around our school uniform rules!!!

Gucci makes such wonderful shoes! Yours are amazing. I just ordered my first ever pair of Gucci heels (Orchids from this summers collection) off ebay. They are due to arrive in a couple days and I can not put in words just how excited I am! Will defo be posting about them!
Also, something I should have commented on ages ago – those Fur Fur brocade trousers are pant perfection! Too bad I can’t find anything similar at a decent price. Maybe I can have some tailored if I find a suitable fabric…?

I love the picture of you at your desk. You look like a Vermeer girl just glowing from the inside. Great reference on African fertility art.
Your stylishness, sweetness & intelligence keeps me coming back to your & your mom’s blogs.
Have a great time with your boyfriend!

I love those shoes! They look great on you and your mother. I like your cameo necklace and pants. I’ve admired pants like those before, but I’ve never quite had the courage to wear anything like them – they’re so noticeable. They look great on you. Wonderful outfit.

Aw.. nerdy, but cute. You & your mom both look great, and I agree, those shoes are evocative of something rather tribal. They’re gorgeous.
So glad to hear you’re spending time with your boyfriend, he’s adorable and you look like a very happy couple.
best, jill xoxo
